Line 63:
'''Wakko''': Me neither.<br />
'''Yakko''': Yeah, I watched [[Vertigo|that movie]] six times and I ''still'' don't get it. }}
* [[Looney Tunes]] and [[Hanna
* ''[[The Simpsons]]'' in "[[The Poseidon Adventure|The Neptune Adventure]]"
{{quote| {{smallcaps|Lenny}} ''(on the ladder; panicking)'': Whatever you do, don't look down! I mean up! I can't do this anymore! It's too confusing! ''(falls to his death)''<br />
{{smallcaps|Carl}}: It's not that confusing. }}
* ''[[The Magic School Bus]]'': in "Under Construction" (about engineering), Wanda says this to Arnold as he's [[It Makes Sense in Context|slowly crawling across a suspension bridge made of Q-tips, dental floss, and bandages over a bathtub with a baby alligator in it.]] He looks down, alligator snaps jaws shut, and Arnold books it to the other side.
* In ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', after [[Genki Girl|Pinkie Pie's]] antics allowed [[Cowardly Lion|Fluttershy]] to temporarily get over her fear of heights in "Dragonshy", she finally attempts to jump over a mountain chasm only for Twilight Sparkle to say this phrase as words of encouragement. Sure enough, Fluttershy does just that and immediately loses her momentum in fright, causing her to drop like a rock... on top of a narrow gap that she could have just walked over.
* In one episode of ''[[Kim Possible (Animation)|Kim Possible]]'', Ron says this to ''himself'' as he's being chased through a towering collection of machinery in Drakken's lair, and promptly steps on and breaks through a flimsy grillwork, falling into the tube it is covering.
